You get what you pay for. My husband treat since he got to check one of his bucket list and golf pebble beach, I got to enjoy a day at the spa. I had 3 services, ttl around $550 US.
If you've been fortunate to have some spa experience in your life, you would know that most spas have some sort of relaxation room or medication area. The conservatory room at the spa at Pebble Beach is beyond words! Its inviting, calming and soothing before. Even on a brisk day, sitting out in the conservatory room is great b/c of the HUGE fire pit they have in the middle, but if its too cold, you can retreat in there inside waiting area; still very peaceful
My services:
Body scrub- I am not a modest person and I had a male doing my service. I thought he sort of felt weird but, hey, its his job why would he feel weird. Anyway, very professional about the "private areas." Even though in my past experiences, I like my front upper area to be scrubbed, I would assume men shouldn't do this to women....makes sense professionally.
after the service I went back to the conservatory to relax, they give you a good 10 minutes to sit and meditate alitte while. There were so other women in there and we quietly chatted about our services. Everyone is so welcoming!
Pebble Massage (they are know for it!) - Holy S**t, I highly recommend if you go to this spa, this is the one service to get. First off, my lady was so attentive to MY body and its needs. You sometimes don't realize where you hold your stress until someone else is pushing and rubbing (with good pressure) on those areas. I can't stress enough how amazing this was. If I could, I would do this twice a month. She didn't seem religious but very spiritual which came across as comforting and in-tune with my body.
Again after the service, I went to the conservatory to hang out some more.
My last service was a facial- my esthetician was a funny lady who really enjoyed what she did for a living. Alittle more talkative than I like especially after the day I had. But overall, a good normal cleaning facial.
After all the services, I went up to the salon and looked around, there were alot of ladies getting nails and hanging out on the plush floral balcony. Very nice! It over looks the pool, which you can also utilize while you are there.
I then went down to use the spa tub, its community but if your shy, they will give you a bath suit to use. Very nice, you can read a book or magazines while you sit there. They also have an oxygen room, I didn't go in there, but a women was in there looking quite peaceful w/ cucumbers on her eyes. They have a sauna and a steam room, all nicely equip with extra towels when needed.
I took a shower and they provided a prepacked razor to shave and a toothbrush as well. I hung out to do my makeup and hair. They provided, spray on deodorant, all hair products, dryer, curling iron and flat iron by request. Gratitude is 20% and its automatically added to your bill; so you don't have to think about how much to give each person. I like that!
As you can see, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was there to relax and have a good time, and that I did. I have read some other posts and yes its pricy, but you know that going into it, you are at Pebble Beach people?
Its very clean, the employees are very attentive and nice, and its an overall great experience.
I want to go back tomorrow! read more
